Honestly someone should just convince Avaya to opensource and/or sell the R=
oute Science product.
It's only real flaws (even today) are the performance of the hardware it wa=
s built on and the lack of IPv6 support.
Give it an x64 kernel that supports 32GB of RAM and you could probably stil=
l be using it today.

This is basically Arbinet's "Optimized" product; it uses actual=20
measurements for loss, round trip time, and jitter to choose routes. =20
Right now, it is just sold as a service, going through the providers=20
they sell access to; I don't know if you could purchase/license the=20
software for your own use.
